- A war of words has broken out between one of India's greatest playwrights, Girish Karnad, and vocal supporters of the man who is often described as a lion of English writing, VS Naipaul. This after Girish Karnad spoke at the Mumbai literature festival and lambasted Mr Naipaul who received a lifetime achievement for his antipathy towards the Indian Muslim - a verbal critique which has touched on many raw nerves.
Who knows Karnad outside India
Yes he is not as famous as Hitler or Stalin too
how is that relevant?
@@Iamfilm711 you are right. Karnad Sir was a gem.
@@mohsinasgarali
Vs naipaul is a genius..
Read his work then you understand..
@@সৌরভসরকার-য৬ম Hey i have read his works. You better understand them.
I've read The Great Novelist! And let me be clear V.S. is simply Great! Now! Who is this nut case? 1000 years of British and Islamic oppression has created this pip squeak clown! Take this from a Sri Lankan Canadian!
He is not arguing about his fiction.
@@UCnNHrjJ8s-xStaXjytpf0Eg - Lets be clear - no one is arguing about what Naipul wrote - but the colonial boot licker said some horrible racist nonsense. As part of a minority if a white Canadian author was to say similar things about a minority in Canada - for example about the Sri Lankan minority that unfortunately has a moronic imbecile like you as a member - how would You react.
You should be ashamed you bigot - You should ask yourself why so many Hindus abandoned their religion and why India has one of the largest Muslim minorities in the world - the answer is - the lower cast Hindus converted to Islam to escape the parasitic and predatory acts of the upper caste Hindus - forms of bigotry that predated slavery!!.
For your information Naipul worshipped the British - they were able to buy his soul with a knighthood - despite what the British did to India - listen to Naipul's interview with Charlie Rose and also take the trouble to listen to Sashi Tharoor's address at he Oxford Union and perhaps listen to Ghandi's words when he defended the lower cases against the pernicious behaviour of the upper caste hinges.
All I can think of at the moment is that you are depriving a little village in Sri Lanka of an idiot!!
You should be ashamed of yourself!!
Naipauls non fiction and his views on Islam are even better than his great fiction.
@@firstal3799 That's a bit like saying that Churchills views about the Indians and Hindu's are better than bigotry when he said that "the Indians are a beastly race......they should not breed like rabbits" - when he was told that there was a lot of hardship and starvation in India when he took food grown in the Punjab and the Bengal and added it to the stockpiles in Europe during the Second World War.
It is a shame that people like you do not seem to be able to combine logic and compassion when applied to human beings that you do not empathise with.
Better calm down. You are talking to an individual who is 10 levels higher in intellect than you.
Mr Girish,
You discuss like a little angry lier boy, now coming to the point....I come from Kashmir and I would Openly say that Muslims have destoryed Kashmir Culture, did ethnic cleansing of Pundits/Hindus in Kashmir and presently all pundits are living as refugees all over India because muslims took their properties by force and made all of them flee at night times just 20 odd years ago.
I am disgusted with your alright imagination and it is not much different what Mohd Gori, Ghaznawi etc did.
Yes Islam is always danger for India
Ok, it wasn't Muslims, it was Islamic invasions that have, to a great extent, tried and did succeed in destroying Indian culture. So did the British. That's what invaders do. Reading wounded civilization at the moment. He's brutally honest, and of course, every writer has their point of view.
shift Girish Karnad's house right beside a mosque and he can hear the loudspeakers from the vulnerable all his life, five times daily. i am sure he would like it a lot.
Radhikaranjan my house is right next to a gurudwara and they play loud Kirtans daily. What do you propose I should do?
@@20shourya You should keep on watching ndtv ,Dear sir.
I had lived near temple for all my life in India and had listen to shloka's through out my life but never complained. Every single day. Yes even Azaan too and that makes me a complete Indian waking up to these beautiful sound.
@@jumikaka do you even know what is said or announced in azan i bet you dont and you are naive enough to compare vedic shlokas with call for prayer for some people
Sir Vidya is absolutely right on his anti- Muslim views. Based on what I am hearing from Mr. Karnad. Mr.karnad seems to have no clue about Muslims culture. Sir V.S. Naipaul is my blood relative. I can give the reason to these anti Muslim views.
Hari om tat sat.
Regards,
Vn.☺
The common proverb - "a rotten apple never falls far from its roots" - is very true in your case - you racist bigot.
Naipul defended Hinduism and verbally attacked Muslims for harming that religion.
I then take it that you defend the "caste" system - considered by most of humanity (I do not include you in that group as you are outside it) as being worse than slavery - even the great Mahatma defended the Harijans against the beastly behaviour of the upper class Hindus aimed at them.
I take it you defend the practice of "sutee" where a woman whilst still alive is thrown upon her husbands funeral pyre. This practice was banned by the Muslims - something that the British later claimed by themselves.
I ask you to look up the barbaric practices of the "aghori" caste in Hinduism - just google it - if your bigotry will allow you to.
I can go on - but I will stop here to see if you have a reasoned intelligent response in your bigoted twisted brain - just like your colonial bootlicker of a relative.
No wonder India has one of the largest Muslim populations in the world - because many Hindus changed their religion to Islam or Christianity in the wake of Portuguese colonisation to escape the predatory pernicious practices of the upper class Hindus towards their own kind.
Shame on you - You ignorant bigot!!
please remember that hinduism ensured that your ancestors were selectively represented to forcefully migrate to the Caribbean. If it wasn't for the central structures of hinduism, my ancestors may have joined you or you would be holding an Indian passport like me.
@@anandrv81 Please explain what the hell are you talking about - this sentence is complete utter gibberish!!
Karnad & NDTV : what a combination!!!
Deepak CM and complete utter bull$hIT - a winning bigoted stupid combination!!
An abysmal one lol
The good old days when NDTV used to form Cabinet from Studio and decide agenda.
It is actually Karnad who failed to comprehend History of India..Go and read the greatest Historian of Modern times, India ever has produced, Sir Jadunath Sircar.
Yess
Girish Karnad is not even fit to shine the shoes of VS Naipaul. Wants to make cheap publicity by attacking a giant icon
Karnad is a nutcase. Listen to his opinions on Tagore for instance...
How will that make him nutcase ? It seem you are a bigger playright than Tagore and Karnad ??? Of course Girish ji is one of the best playrights India produced.
@@jumikaka Well no, I didn't criticise his playwrighting, but I'll take your comment as a compliment. Or was it a question ? (???) Or sarcasm? Either way, him being a nutcase was more a comment on his delusions of grandeur, and wilful ignorance on Naipaul's work. He may be an excellent playwright, but that doesn't mean he should criticise authors he hasn't bothered to read.
And how bright Ur sitting faceless.
Girish Karnad was a fake intellect. Here he says Naipaul was not fair to anyone why should I be fair to him and when asked by the anchor that he was fair to his craft Girish says he was not fair to Muslims. He couldn't digest anyone getting more acclaim and being honoured. If Naipaul was accused anti Muslim Karnad was anti Hindu
Girish Karnad is more popular than Naipaul in this country. I do not think he is an attention seeker. We really need to appreciate his views on many subjects. He doesn't go by perception of people created by media. He just goes by what is right and what is wrong and most of the time he is right in what he says. We are honored to have such intellectuals who think in a more secular and right manner.
I am from Karnataka and no karnard was never popular even here. He was always considered a second rate actor.
What a jock
Kanad famous😂😂😂😂😂
Girish Karnad is a great great man but to some extent naipaul was right about effect of islam on India
That doesn't mean we disregard the current muslims though,we need to learn to live together in peace
There is a danger what if ' current Muslims ' become 30 or 40 percent popukation of India.
One shouldn't use term like ' great'for Karnad when a man like Naipaul is within our visual horizon as in this video
That devalues the term
@@firstal3799 Only in your twisted dreams - only a moron can come out with nonsense like this!!
Karnad seeks public attention, nothing more!!
Most people commenting here have not read any book of Naipaul but will still defend him😂
V S Naipaul made what is in the dictionary of people like Karnad , Arundhati Roy , NDTV etc a gross violation .. calling a spade a spade ..
Or doubting the "religion of peace" really is a religion of peace.
In the same sense that an English person calls a "spade a spade" when they see a brown person - I suppose you are too stupid to see the stupidity in the language you have used.
@@MoMo-vi3go well ..a brown person is a brown person. Iam on the darker shade of brown it doesn't bother me one bit ...
@@vish3161 I am lost for words - a self hating brown bigot who also hates his kith and kin - I suppose you also admire the British for their predatory and pernicious actions in India - all the looting and the man made famines - just like the colonial bootlicker Naipul - who sold his conscience and soul for a knighthood - if you have any children - I hope you bring them up to have a little self respect - as you have none.
You show your fortitude by vilifying a minority in your own country - how brave of you - you boot licker.
@@MoMo-vi3go you use strong words typical of today's wokes. Learn to tolerate views that differ from yours without frothing from you mouth with indignation. I accept brown skin because I have no complex about it. Skin color is what we are born with and it is just that .. mere skin pigmentation. As for Naipaul, please read his books before commenting. He merely explores the struggles in the Islamic world to try and create an imagined ideal of 7th Century Arabia in the 21st century ( which is a completely futile endeavor). Calling this futile effort a futile effort is what I meant calling a spade a spade.
Very sad to see this clip. Karnad was a good playwright but was clearly misinformed and misguided on the subject of the barbaric Islamic invasions and its profound impact on India which we live with and the coming several generations would suffer from.
Compared to V.S. Naipaul Karnad is nothing.
Compared to Shakespeare - Naipul is a tapeworm!!
If he accusing the Modi as massacre then what about his favorite fanatic ruler Tippu Sultan. Th ruler as done was the responsible for all the genocides were happened in the coastal, Malbar and Coorg region against the Christians and Hindu community. Karnad is not historian.
Rest in peace Mr. Girish Karnad. Great loss to Indian film industry
As a person born, raised and educated in Europe, the continent of Renaissance, Enlightment and modern science I declare that Sir Naipul was a genius and right on every topic he touched. He was also right about humanitarian freedoms and values as developed in the Western world being criticised and undermined by strong pakistan accents english speaking twisted intellectuals as in this video, having ambivalent feelings towards western culture, throwing dirt at Sir Naipul.
@Baldwin - The person speaking with a "strong Pakistani accent" speaks more than one language - Your language and others - given your input to this discussion - my guess is that You speak only one - I hope you do not have to take your shoes off to count to ten!!
@@MoMo-vi3go French, German and English are part of the curriculum of "Voortgezet Hoger Onderwijs" (Grammar School) in the Netherlands. Having studied Italian, the language and country of birth of journalist Oriana Fallacci, culture and language at Utrecht University, a total of 5 languages are spoken by this person. I agree with Sir Naipul that compared to western colonialism the Moguls and their religion had a devastating effect on Hindu India and former Hindu and Budhist Asian countries of which the candi's still can be admired thanks to European consersation and restoration. Members of the universal western styled civilisation are coming from everywhere to enjoy these beauties of hindu and budhist sculpture and architecture, to a degree so much greater than, if any, deriving from the foot washing, praying and gender segregating "architecture" of the Mogul period.
@@baldwin9180 I am glad you have disclosed more about yourself so I can answer you properly - as no English person would post something so stupid - so bereft of historical knowledge - You must be the only person in your family born without a tail.
Being Dutch does not mean that you show a grasp of history akin to the "Gold Member" character from the Mike Meyers film - Austin Powers in Goldmember!!
Before I reply to you - I will add that I am an atheist - I have no time for any religion.
You have raised two broad areas in your post(s) - I will answer them in the order raised: -
1. Your first post about grandiose claims about Western Civilisation, the Renaissance, and colonialism.
2. The effect of the Mughals on India and whether they were worse than the British.
On the first point - the renaissance in Europe started with the Moors in Spain(I am sure an enlightened person like you can research the veracity of what I have said here) whilst the Europeans were by and large in the grip of the Catholic religion that was busy carrying out pogroms against the Jews culminating in the Holocaust on Christian Europe just over 70 years ago and burning the ancient texts written by previous civilisations - the holocaust occurred in an enlightened Christian Europe in my fathers lifetime - perhaps yours too!! This is something that your humanitarian, freedom loving, Christian world likes to forget - most of the ceremonies of the Hitler Youth took place in the churches - You suffer from selective amnesia - I have more examples below!!
The period that we call the "European Enlightenment" was when Your forefathers (assuming that you are Dutch) bathed the world in blood and genocide - immigration has always been a problem - ask the Aborigines in Australia (90% of whom have been exterminated - ask the Native Americans (close to 50 Million were exterminated) - ask the natives of South America (close to 30 Million were exterminated) - the disgusting and apalling behaviour of Your Dutch blood brethren (Boers and Afrikaners in case you have forgotten) in South Africa in the lead up to independence - lest I forget the First and Second World Wars that an enlightened Christian Europe gifted the world with its 40 Million dead - the 25 Million Africans that Leopold's enlightened Christian armies gifted to the Belgian Congo - the part that a Christian France played in the Rwandan Genocide that Macron recently apologised for - or the 250 unmarked graves of the Native American children discovered in Canada this month which Justin Trudeau apologised for - these children were in the care of your enlightened Christian Church - one can only wonder how much abuse these children suffered at the hands of Your Christian brethren before they reached their premature deaths. I can go on but I will stop here - you can stick your selective view of the European Enlightenment in a part of your bodily orifice where the sun does not shine.
As Gandhi once said when asked what he thought of European Civilisation- "European Civilisation would be a nice thing!!"
On your second point about the harm (as claimed by Naipul) that the Mughals caused to Hinduism - it was Hinduism that gave us the Caste system that still persists in India to this day in some shape and form - lasting thousands of years - in my mind it is worse that the practice of slavery conducted by enlightened Christian Europeans - I include all Christian sects here - I am sure you will be able to find one Dutch village that was innocent of this practice.
I am sure you are aware of the practice of Sutee - where the widow was burnt alive on the funeral pyre of her dead husband - a practice favoured by the upper Hindu Castes.
The Moguls outlawed both the above practices including a number of other odious Hindu practices - deeds that the enlightened British claimed for themselves later.
When you talk of European conservation and restoration - it is a debt that the civilised enlightened Europeans owe to the people of the world for centuries of thieving - given the scale of the theft of antiquity from the rest of the world - the pretext now provided by Your European brethren is that this material needed to be repatriated to the museums of Europe to save it from destruction. The fact that all the material in the European museums survived for thousands of years in its natural environment was irrelevant to the thieves - this material just happened to fall into danger while Your thieving enlightened Europeans were present - so they could steal it and bring it to Europe - this is a novel excuse for theft - some people (mostly in Europe) are stupid and gullible enough to pretend to believe it - the rest of the world that can exercise logical judgement do not believe the enlightened Europeans.
The person speaking with a strong Pakistani about freedoms is more correct in my mind than one speaking with a strong "freaky" Dutch accent with a closed mind.
Please give some consideration to historical facts about what a so called Enlightened Christian Europe has done to the rest of the world and also to itself - before you open your stupid Dutch mouth!!
I await your response - let's hope it is more sensible than your previous postings!!
@@MoMo-vi3go thank you very much for disclosing your world view in which your english masters and their fundamentalist friends are good and a blessing to the world, where as europeans and the dutch not that much. Do take care whenever you visit the middle east and the countries of their converts. Quite often people there are executed just for being atheists. Sir Naipul was right, Bin Laden was wrong.
@@baldwin9180 I was wondering how long it would take before your line of reasoning runs out - despite your grandiose claims about being a ".....a person born, raised and educated in Europe, the continent of Renaissance, Enlightment and modern science....." - it didn't take long - clearly a waste of a good education. Bin Laden is like a selective bogeyman that people like you throw at others when You have run out of things to say in defence of your "Geert Wilders" school of bigotry.
There is an English phrase (I am sure it exists elsewhere) that says - "Actions Speak Louder than Words" - I will give you a couple of other examples of enlightened Christian European blood-letting - as you have demonstrated how selective and short your memory is: -
1. The last Gulf War was conducted by ".....people born, raised and educated in Europe, the continent of Renaissance, Enlightment and modern science....." - under a false pretext (read the Hutton Report commissioned in the UK) - a pack of lies that resulted in half a million needless deaths - the perpetrators of this project are still at liberty.
2. During the Bosnian war in Sebrenica there were thousands of refugees in the care of the Dutch army in the safe heaven - the Dutch Army - ".....people born, raised and educated in Europe, the continent of Renaissance, Enlightment and modern science...." - helped the Serbs load the Bosnians onto the buses so they could be taken away and executed - you do not know the meaning of the words Enlightenment or Civilisation.
3. I am as far from Bin Laden as one can get - your level of bigotry and intolerance puts you much closer to him - if one disagrees with you then they must be akin to the most extreme person you can conjure out of your imagination - that is warped thinking - you are clearly unable to challenge the facts put in front of you. There were no Pakistani people in the video as far as I can see - but your level of intolerance, blurred vision, and provocation clearly saw one - well all I can say is the non existent Pakistani Girish Karnad made much more sense you have demonstrated - a product of an enlightened Indian education I would say - a credit to his educational background because it is not the same as yours - that has enabled him to use his mental faculties in a critical manner!!
I am getting bored with this discussion now - thank you for taking the time to respond to me - have a nice life - please use your learning and enlightenment to make life better for your fellow human beings - rather than sow division and spread baseless bigotry.
This Girish Karnad is living in a illusion just like an ostrich.
I got my introduction to Naipaul by an extract from one of his books about the South Indian kingdom of Vikayangar. There are describes majestically how India was deliberately raped and destroyed in a systematic manner by Islamic invaders. The burning of Nakanda and Taxila libraries are not incidental but part of a scheme where the ablest and smartest waited were killed to destroy Indian interest and culture. And bring it under subjugation.
To abolish the caste system and Sutee that came out of Hinduism was a good thing in my eyes - you should be apologising to half of the humanity that occupies the Indian landmass - speak to the Dalits and Harijans - You raped and dehumanised your own kith and kin for thousands of years - it is still happening in India - you did not need any help from outside.
Naipul's defence of Hinduism cannot escape what the Hindus did to their own - he is also full of praise for the British - who reduced India to a state of penury - who also created artificial famines that resulted in millions of Indians dying of starvation.
Yet You still go on about the Muslims..................you will always be a victim.
@@MoMo-vi3go No. Don't conflate Sati with caste system
First of all Sati was a minor practice within Hinduism and was exacerbated by Iskamic invasions and subsequent brutality.
Next let's talk about caste system
Caste system was exclusionary but not inhumane. You picture an ancient social arrangement through modern Lens, which is a unified, single society.
In ancient times it wasn't so. And it need not be so. I am absolutely against caste system but point to note in pre Islamic Indiax there was no genocide. There wasn't even any institutional slavery which happened in all large, sophisticated ancient and medieval cultures. Caste system was benign compared to skave system
Furthermore caste system essentially kept out many untouchables from dominant cultural system but didn't britalize them. They were free to pursue a society of their own making. Also all castes or jatis gad their own narrative about who is superior and who is inferior. In other words caste hierarchy wasn't a neat top to down linear ladder. That is a particular viewpoint solidified in the dominant narrative by the British. In other words every caste put itself on top of the hierarchy. Read one of indias best sociologists word Dipankar Gupta, Interrogating Caste on this.
In a libertarian sense caste system can even be seen on positive light as individuals communities exercising their liberty. I don't support it but in any case it was benign compared to forced slavery and mass likings
Islamic invasion was a completely different matter. It was sheer brutality, barbarity and an alien dominant imposition over Hindustan.
@@firstal3799 You have clearly taken leave of your senses to call call Sutee a minor practice in Hinduism - for any religion or system of belief to condone and give philosophical justification to the murder of another human being through burning is truly barbaric - it is disgusting beyond belief - for you to blame the muslims for an inhumane practice that existed on the Indian landmass before the Muslim invasions says a lot about your warped logic!! To say that Hindus did more burnings because of the Muslim invasions is truly sick!! Disgusting beyond any belief and reason - one innocent life cut short wrongly is too many!!
You need to talk to the Dalits and Harijans about ancient times - when the down trodden had no voice or justice as they do today. No wonder a very large percentage of the Indian population changed religions to Christianity and Islam when they were given the opportunity - to escape a system that was worse than slavery or serfdom.
You are ignorant of your own history - the persecution and destruction of Buddhism as a belief system including their stupas and places of worship in the 12th Century is one example - I can site many more.
I didn't realise that I was entering into a debate with the "missing link between the animal and vegetable kingdoms" - you clearly got into the gene pool when the lifeguard wasn't watching - have a look at your back in the mirror to see if you have a tail!!
What you have said in your response is truly disgusting - I am lost for words!!
@@MoMo-vi3go dony even dare to compete with me or insult me. You are no better than a tape worm before me. Difficult to talk to you as dkme assumptions that are pre literate would need to be explained to you.
Idiot Sati practice isn't sanctioned by any religious precepts and indeed came into prominence as a cultural practice in present form of a woman centric ritual after Islamic invasions and in the areas which were among most affected by it like Rajputana kingdoms. In these areas lot of women was worse than death if they fell I enemy hands and that's why they chose it. Of course what started as an unfortunate but rational behavior became incorporated as semi compulsive norm.
You are intellectually and morally so low its unfortunate likes of you participate in tools of modern civilization.
@@firstal3799 It is good to see that you are not letting Logic get in the way of your ignorance - it is even harder to believe that something as braindead as you beat 1,000,000 other sperm to get into the human race - as an outsider 'what do you think of the human race'?
Your religion is part of your culture - as is your societal behaviour - most religions practice some form of humanism that control the worst excesses of corrosive human behaviour in the absence of laws.
Sutee was considered a voluntary act as as Sati the wife of Lord Shiva immolated herself...............later on it became enforced in the Gupta Empire - it then spread to Nepal and Madhya Pradesh - even the Greeks mention this barbaric practice - it has gone on for over a thousand years.
Once again you demonstrate how ignorant you are of your own history!!
Karanad is my Guru..!! But why he is not talking about, when whole Nalanda University burnt to ashesh...months to gether.. all books, scripts.. all burnt...just because that it was not having "Quran"... anybody who has humanity would critisce this. .....No words Guruji.....I love ur talent of Plays..If ur supporter or re-writting the History with new color, I am not supporting it!! who cares right ? :-)
Naipaul spoke the truth. He did not need to be politically correct like Karnad.
At least Karnad spoke through his mouth and not a lower smelly part of his body - You do not know the meaning of the word "truth" - You bigot!!!
The oversimplifications , constant disregard for nuances , affinity for labels, the interview is so ignorant. All I could sense from her words is sheer stupidity and Karnad saying he is anti -muslim makes me wanna laugh.
In fact Karnad ought to be rewarded with a seat in the Rajya Sabha by the Congress. Don't you think !
What a great and iconic actor he is ❤ girish karnad
One wonders if Girish Karnad is bitter (of Tagore and Naipaul) because he is not likely to win a nobel-prize - elsewhere he does talk about his aspirations for it ? Immensely talented as he is, his body of work is quite unlikely to bring him the nobel... Grow up Girish ;-)

Who the hell you people are to disagree with him" - you are essentially saying that Naipul the a£$@ licker cannot be challenged because of that - I just pointed out other bas£@%ds in history who were also considered for this famous accolade - the members of the selection panel all happen to be white with a bias for Indians who lick their shoes and other mediocre white people for the prise - there's nothing like begging up mediocrity!!
It is NDTV and the topic is Muslims and Islam. We can understand !!
Please explain- so your bigoted racist attitudes can be open to all!!
He's just jealous first he insulted Tagore ang now Naipaul...Karnad himself is an insult
There is enough evidence in muslim sources itself. Karnad sud read their books and not call them gross exaggeration when he doesn't like something being said about peacefuls.
Then Mr. Naipaul married a Muslim lady from Pakistan called Nadira Alvi and also adopted her children.
He was a wife beater which he himself has admitted and was vacationing with his mistress Ms. Goodings while his wife Patricia was sick and eventually died.
Greatest playwright! In an age only lower than mediocre people aspire to be playwright. Drama is dead for more than half a century!
A little candle belittling brilliance of a sun, as if describing the glow of a nondescript lamp.
Girish Karnad is celebrated in India as a rare multifaceted genius and without Karnad, Indian art and literature would not be what it is today. Nai Paul is nowhere in Indian art and literature

A playwright with a sense of right and wrong with a level of integrity - he called out the boot licker Naipul for exactly what he was - Naipul was an odious offensive human being who was also prone to getting his facts wrong.
@@MoMo-vi3go First read about Sir Naipaul. Karnad will never be equal to him in a hundred births.

@@dracharya5037 Listen to Naipul's interview with Charlie Rose before talking of "births"!! You could equally argue that Naipul got international recognition through his boot licking and his bigotry that chimed with the people who awarded him his pieces of silver.
According to Naipul the British taught India almost everything - gave India new systems and ways of thinking - gave India the railways - almost making it sound like the Indians were infantile - they had achieved nothing and done nothing - the Indians mere simpletons until the British arrived - having read your argument - perhaps Naipul was right!!

I dont know why people are making so much fuss on Girish Karnad's sincere comment on Naipaul. every body know Naipaul is highly anti muslim a writer...Girish Karnad is the first one to speak it out. thats it. Hey guyz, u look awfully communal and stupidly naive when u try to defend Naipaul on this. Behave yaar...its high time...every body know whats going on.
What Naipaul had said was logically correct. I don't think truth is against or can be in favour of anyone. So don't play victim card and accept the indian historical facts as they are.
Karnad sounds illiterate...he is saying islamic invasions didn't happen?... Strange...
